Brush Strokes - The Complete Series One & Two
25 years ago, Karl Howman as Jacko painted his way into the heart of the country when Brush Strokes began on BBC television in 1986. This comedy from John Esmonde and Bob Larbey, creators of hit series Please Sir! and The Good Life would go on to run for five series over six years and 40 episodes.
Karl Howman stars as Jacko, painter, decorator and all-round charmer, never happier than when he's in the company of a good woman or any woman for that matter. He can't help it, he just loves the female sex and can't help but try to share that love with everyone from the boss's daughter to a novice nun. Living with his married sister Jean, Jacko works for Bainbridge Decorators with his side-kick Eric, under the watchful and distrustful eye of his boss Lionel, and the boss's secretary Sandra.
Please note that this set only inlcudes the 13 1986 episodes. Although comprised of two separately produced series, it was broadcast as just one.
